This is the 1st of 2 vids showing the Valve Clearance Check on the Bandit... I'll edit and upload the 2nd vid shortly which follows the re-build procedure. Sorry I can't show the stages of Camshaft removal and shim change as I didn't need to do it this time. As always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and I'll gladly help if I can. Ride Safe - Regards Mark
You Lucky man. Previous owner did not want to pay for valve clearance so when I checked 8 shims needed to be
Thanks for this, I’m looking at doing valve clearances on my 07 650. Just glad I’ll never have to worry about it with my Harley
To save buying a new gasket for right hand engine cover, turn engine using rear wheel while in gear. cam cut outs position as shown, pretty obvious when your in correct position as lobe of cam is furthest away from the shim bucket....also wouldnt advise splitting feeler gauges, easier to fish out the chain tunnel should any accidents occur if they are all together. All in all a good easy to follow video, many thanks.
I almost did this to my Bandit when I had it open to solve a popping issue and change the plugs. I asked the local Suzuki dealership if I should do it and they laughed. Even tho I think the service manual recommends it at 15K (my 09 is at 16K now) they said they'd never seen one out of spec when opened for other reasons, and unless I'm having problems I shouldn't worry about it. I was going to tackle it since it's easier to do the job with the PAIR system removed, as my bike's has been. After a slip on can, I was having popping issues on decel that I just didn't like, so me and a buddy yanked it out one Sat. Popping cured and aside from an ever so slightly stronger smell from the exhaust I love it. My state doesn't have vehicle inspections and many states that do don't check bikes, so I was able to get away with it. But at any rate, I loved watching the video and it's your bike, so you do it how YOU want to do it. It's nice to see someone else dealing with the same challenges! KTSSU
C.Walker... the large hose you refer to coming off the Water Pump - next to the bottom of the exhaust headers is the one you will need to undo and empty the system into a container placed beneath it (It's the lowest point in the system).
Great video, 1 step that should be checked prior to checking valves. Check that the cam covers are torqued down to manufactures specifications. Otherwise may give slightly inaccurate measurements. Other than that job well done.
Very informative and pleasant video :)
Interesting video, thanks. Not a job I've done yet. I've spoken with dealers about the job and a couple have told me openly that they don't bother doing it during the service unless they suspect a problem. Not sure if that suggests dodgy dealers or that the bikes I've looked at whilst asking (Fireblade for one) don't really get problems. One to tackle eventually no doubt.
Great video
hey man!
slightly confused about the coolant drain portion...Is there a drain spigot, or do you have undo the large hose underneath by the exhaust? Is the "bleed screw" just to let air flow?
Dear Mark, totally inspired by your video. May I ask what is the 2 additional red wires running please ?
I have a 2011 with 30k on it still no need to do this. As N stated my dealer has also said they have never seen one out of spec. When you hear the valves rattling it's time to adjust. They don't get tighter only loose as they wear. Save time and effort, don't witty about it.
I wont have the courage to open her up like this...
Great helpful video, il have to do this one day on mine, what was the mileage you done this at so i can get an idea of when mine will need doing?
if you're in the fast group in track day and you cane your 12fiddy then check your valves before 30thou.... otherwise I wouldn't bother...good and informative video though.
HELLO PROMPT how many KM TO REGULATE THE VALVE?
how many miles have your bike done?
